Verdict

PINK GIN (NAP) was far from disgraced on his debut over fences at Newbury and has been dropped a pound since. He has a lot more scope than his rivals in this with recent course and distance second Lac Sacre probably needing to drop a few pounds if he’s going to open his account over fences. Loughalder has won four of his eight previous starts here but is not easy to catch right nowadays. Paddy The Oscar clearly isn’t the force of old while Jack In A Box has been well beaten in all starts under Rules, despite his form figures. Cailleach Annie also has much to prove at present.
